Rise for all

With the fighting game community growing larger than its ever been and developing global tours for AAA titles such as Street Fighter 5, Tekken 7 and Dragon Ball FighterZ, we're seeing more international travel and competition than ever before.

This advance does not come without its problems, however, as transit from country to country can include quite a bit of red tape, and we've already seen multiple instances where players were unable to attend major events due to visa and passport issues.

The fighting game community's own ESE|VP|Sherryjenix has seen such happenings one too many times, and has decided to do something about it. The result is eFightPass, a program created to help foreign players get their visas to travel to United States.

Dealing with government forms and processes can be daunting, and so this program will instruct players on how to get the ball rolling. This includes the necessary steps one must take, tips for interviewing and general dos and don'ts to maximize your chances of being approved.

Not only do competitors receive help with all this, but eFightPass will also aid in payments for the non-refundable visa application fee as well as travel and hotel fees. Those that would like to further the cause can donate to help the program offer as many opportunities as possible.
